"I know," Lenore agreed, looking up from the grimoire in her hands. "I just have to check," she added, giving me a soft smile. "It's a big decision."
"The biggest," I agreed.
"It's the best one I've ever made," she told me in a low voice, not wanting our men to overhear.
"I know it is going to be the best one I ever have too," I assured her, feeling Ace's wing tickle across my neck as he moved forward, came to stand behind me. Always having my back. Especially during such an important moment.
With that, Lenore started her spell.
I said the words she told me to say.
And my whole heart was in my voice as I did so.
Because that was what Ace was going to have.
Forever.
